The video was recorded in Rohith's room and shows policemen hovering around his body in the hostel room. [Photo: The chief medical officer of the Hyderabad Central University Dr Rajashree who declared Rohith dead on January 17, claimed that she was not stopped by students when she went to the hostel room.] The chief medical officer of the Hyderabad Central University Dr Rajashree who declared Rohith dead on January 17, claimed that she was not stopped by students when she went to the hostel room. "In fact it was the students took me to the room and kept on requesting me to do something to revive Rohith," Dr Rajashree said. Irani, in her speech in Parliament on Wednesday, claimed that students hid the body till the next day morning without allowing access to either doctors or the police. "Nobody allowed a doctor near this child, to revive this child, to take him to the hospital, nobody allowed a doctor near him. The police has reported that not one attempt was made to revive this child, not one attempt was made to take him to the doctor. Instead, his body was used as a political tool, hidden, no police was allowed till 6:30 the next morning," she had said. The CMO said it was incorrect of Irani to say that no doctor saw Rohith's body till the next day. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
